    It is true that oil is formed by the remains of paleontology undergoing a long-term complex reaction in the ground, and it can be said that it is transformed by paleontology.

    Yes. Because oil is formed by paleontology that is buried in the ground and processed for a long time, it is really paleontological.

    Oil is formed from the remains of trees, bones and animals, and is fermented in a confined environment for a long time. It is true that the bones of some ancient creatures have evolved.

    The carcasses of some trees, fish, and animals in ancient times turned into oil after hundreds of years of development. It is believed that the paleontology was also transformed.

    I don't think so; Scientists have found that the earth's crust is rich in carbon elements, which can naturally form hydrocarbons, and I personally think that the formation of oil is produced by hydrocarbons after radioactivity in the earth's interior.

    Let's gossip again! Oil, a non-renewable resource of the earth, has been associated with human beings for thousands of years, but it is only about 100 years since it was actually exploited in large quantities.

    Scientists say that coal evolved from trees hundreds of millions of years ago, and this theory is not difficult to understand. But according to scientists, oil evolved from animal carcasses hundreds of millions of years ago, so where there is oil, there must be a large number of animal bone fossils, right? So it's a bit intriguing to say that oil is made from animal carcasses.

    In fact, who has ever seen the carcass of an animal buried under their own fruit tree in the countryside still see grease around the animal's bones when they are dug up a few years later? And the ancients were all burials, who has ever seen that there will be a substance similar to oil in the graves of the ancients? Unheard.

    Personally, I think that oil may not have been formed on Earth, but from far away outer space. When they passed through the solar system and came to Earth more than a billion years ago, they were attracted by the Earth's gravitational pull and became part of the Earth's material.

    Where exactly does oil come from? It probably doesn't matter to humans anymore! Because it is only used by humans as an energy source.

    The use of fossil energy by human beings has promoted the great development of social productive forces. For example, oil, which can be burned hundreds of years ago, has been discovered by mankind, but the large-scale exploitation of oil resources will not begin until after the second industrial revolution. Oil is not only the blood of industry, but also a commodity that can determine the development of the world economy.

    We know from childhood that oil is a non-renewable energy source that will run out sooner or later. Moreover, the reason for the formation of oil is that the remains of animals and microorganisms in ancient times have undergone processes such as decomposition and deposition in the earth's crust. This explanation also illustrates the non-renewable nature of petroleum resources, since paleontological remains are finite, and natural oil is finite.

    Since the Second Industrial Revolution, some scientists have asserted that oil resources will soon be depleted. However, now that it is 2020, the world's oil extraction is getting higher and higher, so that the major oil-producing countries have to sit together in a meeting to discuss reducing oil production, so as to control the international oil price. This is undoubtedly an irony.

    If oil resources are non-renewable, then why are they extracted more and more? If oil resources are very limited, why are large oil fields being discovered every year?

    Of course, this involves an essential problem, which is the conservation of energy. We know that paleontological remains are also part of the ecosystem, and they also need to be degraded to return energy to the ecosystem. If the remains of paleontology had turned to oil, the ecosystem would not have functioned properly.

    As a high-density energy source, how many paleontological remains are needed to form a large oil field with billions of tons of reserves?

    Even if we add up all the biological remains that have been able to reach the ground in the history of the earth, it is estimated that it is not enough to meet the current world's oil reserves.

    So more and more people are starting to wonder why the oil is produced. Perhaps oil is not a non-renewable energy source or a paleontological remnant, but a naturally occurring energy source, even renewable.

    There is a new view that oil may simply be formed by the reaction of carbon in the earth's crust with hydrogen at high temperatures and pressures. Oil is essentially a hydrocarbon, and when formed deep in the earth's crust, less dense hydrocarbons naturally rise to the surface of the earth's crust and clump together to form oil.

    That's why we have oil gushing out of wells that we thought were depleted.

    Of course, all this is not recognized by scientists, or rather, by the oil industry.

    It is true that oil is slowly formed by the corpses of ancient animals and plants through a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, and it has long since decayed and evolved into minerals.

  9. Anonymous users2024-01-31

    Yes. The formation of oil has its special reasons, a long time ago there were many animals and plants on the earth, after an asteroid hit the earth, a huge fireball formed instantly covered the surface, many animals were directly sealed, there were no microorganisms, no air to decompose the corpse, so it was not decomposed for a long time to form oil.

The most authoritative scientific explanation now is that life on Earth originated in the primordial oceans.

Eventually, it evolved into marine life. >>>More
